Santa Claus Will Be Stopping in Kinsman

Santa Claus will be making two stops in Kinsman, Ohio on Saturday, December 10th! First he'll be at the Library from 10:00 am to Noon in the Children's Dept. Stop by and share your wishes with him, then stay to make reindeer food for his team, a holiday necklace to keep or give to someone you love, and decorate yummy Christmas cookies! A snack will be served. Drop in any time, and don't forget your camera or phone for taking pictures. From 6:00 to 8:00 pm you will find Santa on the Square in downtown Kinsman. Come watch Santa arrive, escorted by local fire and police departments, at 6:00 pm and stay to visit with Santa, take a wagon ride, and join the caroling! Look for a special surprise for kids! Refreshments! Hosted by Harry Lees American Legion Post 506 & Auxiliary and the Kinsman Free Public Library. A big thanks go out to all the local businesses and churches who sponsored this event!

Holiday Closings

The Library will be closed on the following days for the Christmas and New Years holidays.

December 23, 24, 26, 30, 31, 2016 and January 2, 2017. It is possible for you to have items due on any of these days if you have borrowed them from another library. Please check your receipt slip or your account online for all due dates. During the holidays we ask that you Do Not over stuff the curbside returns. If returns are full, please keep your items! Do not force items into the returns as this may cause damage you will be responsible for. Never let any items sitting outside of, or sticking out of, the returns. It is better to pay a small overdue fine than the replacement cost of a damaged item. Patrons are responsible for all items they have checked out on their card until the items are discharged inside the library.

Holiday Fun at the Library

You are invited! December 1st - 21st. Deck the Halls! at the library by making a Christmas ornament to take home and one for the library tree! Drop in during regular library hours in the activity room next to the Children's Dept. And don't forget to stop at the Santa Mail Station on the main level! Use the stationery provided and write a letter to Santa! Seal it with an "I Believe" sticker and drop it in the Polar Mailbox.
